Media Players Tab; Transitions; Fade To Black - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Production Studio 4K Installation And Operation Manual

Transitions

The transition palette is where you can configure the parameters of each transition style. For
example for the dip transition the palette has a drop down where you can select the dip source
and for the wipe transition the palette displays all the available wipe patterns. There are lots of
variations of transitions, and a large number of transitions can be created by combining settings
and features in the transition palette.
It's worth noting that simply selecting a specific style of transition in this palette will only adjust
the settings for these transitions, and you still need to select the style of transition you want to
perform in the transition control section on the software or hardware control panel. For ease of
use, some people like to use the hardware based broadcast panel for switching, while using the
software panel palettes for setting up the transition. The software and hardware panels work
together and mirror all settings, so you can use any combination you like!
Downstream Key 1 and 2
The ATEM has two downstream keyers which can be configured from the downstream keys
palette. The palette has drop down boxes for selecting the fill and key signals to the keyer,
sliders to set the clip and gain values, pre-multiplied, and mask settings.

Fade to Black

The Fade to Black palette is where you can set the fade to black transition rate. An Audio
Follow Video checkbox is also provided as a shortcut for the audio mixer's master fader AFV
button. Selecting this feature lets you fade your audio with your fade to black.

Media Players Tab

The Media Players tab contains controls for your ATEM Switcher's media players and connected
HyperDecks.
Media Players
Your ATEM switcher has media players which play back the clips and stills that are stored in the
media pool memory built into the switcher. The drop down list is used to select the still or clip
that will be played or made available on the media player input to the switcher. When a clip is
selected, the transport controls in the media player can be used to play, pause and loop the
clip. Controls are also provided to step forward and backward through frames of the clip. Most
ATEM switchers have 2 media players. ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K has 4 media players.
Hyperdecks
If you are running ATEM switchers 6.8 or newer, you can connect up to 4 Blackmagic
HyperDeck Studio model disk recorders and control them using ATEM Software Control's
HyperDecks palette. For more information refer to the 'HyperDeck Control' section of
this manual.
